Have you also invested in digital gold? So be careful! Because SEBI has now issued a warning regarding digital gold. Many popular brands and apps in the market like Tanishq, MMTC-PAMP, Aditya Birla Capital, Caratlane, Jos Alukkas, PhonePe and Shriram Finance are selling digital gold from just ₹100. But the surprising thing is that this entire segment is not under the control of SEBI or any regulatory body. SEBI has clarified that digital gold or e-Gold is neither a security nor a commodity derivative. That means if there is default or fraud on any platform, investors will not get any protection. This is why questions are now being raised among investors about the security of digital gold. However, there are many regulated and safe options for investing in gold — such as Gold ETFs (Exchange Traded Funds), Electronic Gold Receipts (EGRs) and Exchange-Traded Commodity Derivative Contracts. All of them operate under SEBI regulations and investments in them can be made through SEBI-registered intermediaries. So be careful before investing, and make sure your money is invested in the right place.

The Washington Post report claimed that Indian officials had prepared a proposal in May 2025 under which a plan was being made to transfer approximately $3.9 billion of investment of government insurance company LIC to Adani Group companies. However, LIC has strongly refuted this report on October 25 calling it completely false and misleading. LIC said in its statement that this news seems to have been published with the aim of influencing their decision making process and damaging their reputation. The company clarified that any investment decisions are taken only after board-approved policies and detailed due diligence, and any external pressure has no role in it. The report also said that LIC had invested $570 million in Adani Ports & SEZ in May 2025, while international surveillance on Adani Group was going on at that time. But LIC pointed out that its portfolio is diversified and its exposure to Adani Group is only less than 2% of the total loans. Both LIC and Adani have completely rejected these allegations, which has brought relief to investors. Now all eyes will be on the Stock Market Reaction of Monday (27 October).

Gold has created history in international markets! For the first time, gold is trading beyond $4000 per ounce, while the price of 10 grams of gold on MCX in India has reached close to ₹ 1.22 lakh. The government shutdown in America and the ongoing political uncertainty over President Donald Trump’s policies have created huge turmoil in the market. In such a situation, investors have turned towards safe investment options, due to which both the demand and price of Gold have increased. So far in 2025, Gold has jumped by more than 50% – which is the biggest since the Hyperinflation of 1979. Goldman Sachs estimates that gold could reach $4900 by the end of 2026, which would be more than ₹1.5 lakh in Indian currency. If the rupee remains weak against the dollar, it can go up to ₹ 1.55 lakh. Breakout levels of $ 4000 Gold and $ 50 Silver are now indicating the next big rise. As long as Global Central Banks keep buying Gold and there remains confusion over Trump’s policy, the pace of Gold is not going to stop.
